13 Barbecue Books To Get Started

You know what they say: You can’t judge a book by its cover. So we asked a few of the top barbecue groups on the internet for their BBQ book recommendations. The response was amazing.

Within a few hours, we had a monster list of titles and author to sort through. We then invested even more time looking at each book’s sales ranking, customer reviews, and status on most wished for lists.

Presenting 13 books, to get started as a novice griller, or for continuing education as a pit master!

At the end of the day, there are probably hundreds of good books on barbecue, and maybe only tens of GREAT books. To be fair, this list may be biased to books published in the last two decades. Have a great book to recommend that we missed? Contact us and we’ll consider it!
